Book Review: “Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon” by Joel Selvin
Tortured by his own brain and barely functioning, Jim Gordon still found comfort in music and by 1983 was playing in dingy clubs with a band called the Blue Monkeys.
The gigs were Gordon’s only normalcy in his world of deepening mental illness.
This moment before things fell apart serves as author Joel Selvin’s introduction to the drummer, who had once been the go-to session man in Los Angeles and was a former member of Derek & the Dominos and Traffic.
“Everybody knows how this story ends,” Selvin writes in the first chapter of “Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon.” It ends, of course, with the drummer murdering his mother, Osa Gordon, in 1983 after a career that established Jim Gordon as one of the most revered drummers in rock ‘n’ roll history.
Gordon’s tale is that of a gut-wrenching struggle with mental illness and stuff-of-dreams musical triumphs that veteran music journalist Selvin tells from an omniscient point of view, in the way Bob Woodward writes his political tomes, with citation saved for the notes and bibliography of the 302-page book.
With cooperation from surviving family members and former colleagues like Jim Keltner, Eric Clapton, Mike Post and others, Selvin paints a sympathetic picture of the Wrecking Crew drummer who struggled against the voices in his head as he recorded and toured with the Everly Brothers, the Beach Boys, Gordon Lightfoot, Joan Baez, George Harrison, Frank Zappa and others between stints in the aforementioned bands with Clapton and Steve Winwood. But while Gordon tamped down his emerging schizophrenia enough to engage in musical success, he also decked his then-girlfriend Rita Coolidge while the pair were on the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour, committed other troubling acts of violence against women and engaged in behavior, such as speaking to people who were not present during recording sessions, that concerned his friends and family even as it left them at a loss of what to do.
Gordon’s career slowly dissolved as the 1970s turned to the 1980s and his grasp of reality grew more and more tenuous. Hospital stays and stints in rehab were unsuccessful at muting the voices that ultimately directed Gordon to kill his mother.
When they did, he listened. Gordon went to Osa Gordon’s house and murdered her with a hammer and butcher knife before heading out for a night of drinking. Police arrested a distraught Gordon, who confessed, the next morning.
He was sentenced to life in prison. Selvin ends the story in 1993 when Gordon and his fellow inmates are watching Clapton pick up a Grammy for his unplugged version of “Layla,” which Gordon was credited with co-writing.
“I’ll be darned,” Gordon said.
A more-complete book would’ve at least touched on the intervening 30 years, Gordon’s life behind bars and his 2023 death at 77. That said, “Demons & Drums” is the most-complete book on Gordon the world is likely to get and is worth the read. For despite its mildly sycophantic tone, and Gordon’s oft-horrendous behavior, Selvin has served up not only Gordon’s story but a fascinating history of the evolution of drumming and the 1970s music scene.

MESSAGE FROM THE MOUNTAINS / ECHOES OF THE DELTA
El galardonado compositor de la música más memorable de la TV anuncia nuevo álbum en solitario el 5 de abril. Ya disponible el single adelanto "Breakdown/Night Sky.
Resérvalo AQUÍ
Escucha el adelanto AQUÍ
Desde el icónico "dun-dun" que se ha convertido en sinónimo del universo de Law and Order hasta los riffs instantáneamente reconocibles de The Rockford Files, Hill Street Blues, Magnum P.I y L.A. Law, entre otros, el compositor ganador de un Emmy® y un Grammy® MIKE POST ha ayudado a dar forma a medio siglo de cultura pop con sus célebres temas de televisión. Ahora, rinde homenaje a la música que inspiró esta prolífica carrera con Message from the Mountains & Echoes of the Delta, un álbum en solitario verdaderamente único que hace honor al bluegrass y al blues, disponible el 5 de abril a través de Sony Classical. El single adelanto de la colección, "Campfire Breakdown/Night Sky", se acaba de estrenar junto con la reserva de álbum: escúchalo aquí.
La forma en que el compositor Mike Post se describe a sí mismo ahora - "Soy un músico estadounidense"- es tan agradecida y respetuosa como ilimitada en su amplitud de miras y su ambición. Su nuevo álbum en solitario, Message from the Mountains & Echoes of the Delta, surgió como su propia celebración de la música del pueblo estadounidense que le ha inspirado en una carrera que abarca seis décadas. El álbum, presentado como un par de obras originales, combina los sonidos de una banda de bluegrass (Mensaje de las Montañas) y de una banda de blues (Ecos del Delta) -a las que se unen dos "dream teams" de solistas amigos y colegas- junto con la rica paleta y la fuerza expresiva de una orquesta completa.
La primera de las dos obras originales que componen el álbum, Message from the Mountains presenta nueve movimientos de múltiples facetas que utilizan los sonidos del bluegrass para celebrar la mezcla de tradición y experiencia cultural diversa en la música estadounidense. Los miembros de estas secciones rítmicas, inmensamente talentosos y premiados, son los siguientes: Herb Pedersen (banjo de 5 cuerdas); Gabe Witcher (violín); Mike Witcher (dobro); Patrick Sauber (guitarra acústica/mandolina); y Amy Keys (oradora). Echoes from the Delta, por su parte, refleja y explora la alegría exuberante y el pozo de angustia que forjaron el blues en 14 movimientos breves y expresivos. Se unen a Post y a la orquesta como solistas Sonny Landreth (guitarra slide); Eric Gales (guitarra eléctrica); Abe Laboriel Sr. (bajo); Abe Laboriel Jr. (batería); Robert Turner (órgano/piano); Jon O'Hara (teclados); y Amy Keys (vocalista).

SOBRE MIKE POST
Aunque su nombre no resulte reconocible al instante, la música de Mike Post sí lo es. Sus inolvidables temas para The Rockford Files, Hill Street Blues, The A-Team, Magnum P.I., NYPD Blue, L.A. Law y muchos otros clásicos de la televisión -incluida la serie Law & Order (sobre todo, en el emblemático efecto "dun-dun" de dos notas que él creó)- forman parte de la banda sonora de la vida moderna estadounidense.
Apasionado por la música desde la infancia, Post era músico de sesión en la adolescencia en la zona de Los Ángeles, y rápidamente pasó a formar parte de un legendario colectivo de virtuosos de la música de estudio conocido como The Wrecking Crew. Post tocó para prácticamente todos los miembros activos de la escena discográfica de Los Ángeles durante esta época. Principalmente trabajó en los primeros éxitos de Sonny y Cher, empezando por "I Got You Babe". Mientras colaboraba con el productor Jimmy Bowen, formó The First Edition, con el entonces desconocido bajista/vocalista Kenny Rogers. Un gran éxito -con solo 23 años, el primero de sus cinco premios Grammy®- gracias a sus arreglos del famoso tema instrumental de 1968 "Classical Gas" encumbró a Post como compositor, arreglista y productor, antes de que la televisión cambiara el curso de su carrera a principios de los 70.
A lo largo de los años, ha escrito la música de siete mil horas de televisión, entre ellas: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Law & Order Criminal Intent, Law & Order, NYPD Blue, The Rockford Files, Magnum PI, Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law, The A-Team, Wiseguy, Hunter, The Commish, Quantum Leap, Doogie Howser MD, Blossom, Hooperman, The White Shadow, Hardcastle & McCormick, Byrds of Paradise, News Radio, Silk Stalkings y Renegade. Los temas de The Rockford Files, The Greatest American Hero, Hill Street Blues y L.A. Law  se convirtieron en éxitos de ventas y le valieron a Post cuatro de sus cinco premios Grammy®. En 1996 ganó el Emmy® a la mejor composición de un título principal por la aclamada Murder One.

Music To Watch TV By
Paul Fitzpatrick: London February 2024 You know you’re becoming crankier when you have thoughts like –‘when I was a lad there were only 3 tv channels and now there are 500 and I still can’t find anything to watch!’It’s a ridiculous sentiment of course, there’s always a channel showing The Sopranos or a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode these days. Anyhow, I was having one of those moments recently,…

Song Review: Mike Post - “Message from the Mountains V. Campfire Breakdown / Night Sky”
Mike Post is back, testing out a new format that combines full orchestration with bluegrass and blues rhythm sections.
“Message from the Mountains V. Campfire Breakdown / Night Sky” previews the bluegrass half of Message from the Mountains & Echoes of the Delta, due April 5. The majesty of the symphonic framework is reined in with fiddle, mandolin, banjo and Dobro in a way that is both refreshing and a little awkward.
And Post, the composer best known for television theme songs, expected such a reaction.
“I’m ready for a segment of classical music fans to not like it,” the composer and producer said in a statement.
“I’m ready for a portion of bluegrass and blues fans to not like it. But down deep inside, I hope everyone likes it. A close miss for that hope would be a home run in my book.”
Following the baseball analogy, “Message from the Mountains V. Campfire Breakdown / Night Sky” strikes Sound Bites as a standup double.
